The official thread of SCOTUS cementing the US as a theocractic fascist state.

Do you think Biden will finally get on board with packing SCOTUS once this goes through?

 

I suspect Biden is never going to get the opportunity. After the midterms, he'll be lucky to have enough senators on his side to effectively run a filibuster.

Because we aborted Reconstruction before it was finished.

Any time the words "forcing a woman to" begins at the start of a sentence, you're advocating for something that should never have become law. But America has never been about being concerned with a woman's perspective. And I suspect, we never will be.

 

If Congress was able to override SCOTUS on the issue of slavery, they surely can override SCOTUS on the issue of abortion.

Is it naive optimism to think this coming into effect in June 2022 is perfect timing to galvanize D midterm turnout?

We live in a current society of people who want instant gratification, and if they don't get it, they pretend the institutions of government don't exist. That's what's happening right now as we head into the midterms. People are pissed off because a slim majority of a broken Democrat Party isn't getting them first class service on all their wants and needs, so their response is turning to apathy and taking their ball home while holding their fingers in their ears. Unless the Democrats rally and rally hard, the Republicans are going to stomp them during the midterms, even though there's no rational reason that should happen for anything the Republicans have actually done in their own favor or interests.

Nope.  I'd rather not see RvW go away for logistical and moral reasons, but it was a bad decision based on faulty logic by the court 50 years ago.  If women's rights are important (they are), then Congress can make a law that codifies that right

If the court does strike down Roe v Wade, that would surely galvanize Democratic voters in 2022, and possibly cause many single issue voters on the GOP side to stay home (hurr durr we won the abortion fight!), making it more likely for the Democrats to keep control of Congress.

Nope it just happens to be the man version of God that whites love so much telling his faithful women to get their sisters back in line.

“Doesn’t adoption eliminate the necessity of abortion,” is one of the most intellectually dishonest, most divorced from reality, cruel takes I can imagine, so naturally it came from Justice Handmaiden.

The Executive nominates.  The Legislative confirms.

The Legislative impeaches.

 

There - those are your "constitutional checks" on the Supreme Court.

Dems are done in 2022.  They don't know how to craft a coherent message and stay on point. This won't change what people think about Biden.

SCOTUS justices are theoretically impeachable.

Also, and this is the important one, the Legislative enacts laws, including Constitutional Amendments, which the Supreme Court must follow (can overturn a law based on constitutionality, but not an Amendment because it IS the Constitution). It's why the Supreme Court was finally forced to decide for Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka.

@TyphoidHater I never said it's realistic, just what it's supposed to be in our stupid broken framework.

[b_m_b_m_b_m]

Legislative and executive can in theory change the size and scope of the judiciary and the executive strictly speaking doesn't have to listen to the judicial branch

[Jwheel86]

States where abortion stays legal should means test abortion access for out of state residents from where abortion is banned.
